That's actually interesting, I thought it would be the other way around. In my case, I keep IS on 90% of the time, except when I'm using a flash or a tripod. Not having IS on the 28-70 f/2.8L is what is keeping me from getting one... -- Patrice Chiniara [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://step.polymtl.ca/~dwarf "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup." * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
